Encounter: Mike gets RIPPED AGAIN

@MikesDad1089: You did get ripped off, no ambiguity about that. Always very frustrating.

But take some personal responsibility: there are MANY well-reviewed providers. If you're new to the area and the hobby, why would you trailblaze? Just see the good providers others have already vouched for. It's not that difficult to avoid getting ripped off.

When I go to a new town, I check the Yelp/Google reviews for best restaurants, and I strictly go by those. I don't blindly drive around to find any ol' restaurant, hoping for the best. The hobby is the same - you're on this site, so use it to help you.

I told her ECCIE ..she said HELL NO I have had to many encounters with those..DOUCHE BAGS..YOU know she was right..Never again..Back to Lurking....

Yeah, I agree, hobbying in the Albany area is not the same as in metro-areas like DFW. It's a different game here - very little quality, lots of mediocrity, and a good amount of pure trash. Sticking to well reviewed providers, while not foolproof, is better than any other method.

Mike, go see Kira.......she will return your faith in the hobby

...Really..she got up and started to pack 10 minutes into the session..You and me must be in another reality..
She is a RIP OFF ARTIST..A CON.. Originally Posted by mikesdad1089

Hey Dad-io, you now have more NO reviews than YES reviews. Time to take whatever selection method you are using and do the complete opposite!!

Besides, Mike is now embarrassed that you're his dad!! Originally Posted by Ed Highlight

So it has nothing to do with whatever selection method he's using. There seems to be more dishonest providers than there are honest ones sorry to say.
